feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war and attack the
Earth in the form of the video games.

“Pixels is one of the most visual effects–rich movies I’ve ever
been involved with—the video game elements pixelate and glow with
energy, making the stunning visuals an ideal movie for the Dolby Cinema
experience,” said Michael Barnathan, producer of Pixels. “Our
team was incredibly excited to collaborate with Dolby on color grading
and sound mixing the movie with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The
combination of amazing sound and vibrant imagery—bright, clear, and full
of color—makes Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and the rest of the arcade
game characters larger than life on the big screen.”

storytelling capabilities that Dolby offers in image and sound
production to transform the way movies are made. Combined with

impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate—an international rogue
organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the

reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain. Everest
documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions
challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever
encountered by mankind.
